To sign 'cloudy', form both hands into loose 'C' or claw shapes. Hold them up above your head level, palms facing each other or slightly downward. Move your hands in overlapping, swirling circles as you move them across the space in front of you, mimicking the shape of rolling clouds in the sky.
Start by signing 'today', then transition into 'cloudy'. As you perform the swirling cloud motion above your head, you can look up slightly to emphasize that you are talking about the weather in the sky.
Sign 'tomorrow', followed by 'cloudy', and finish with 'cold'. Make the swirling motion for 'cloudy' slightly larger and wider to indicate that the sky will be completely overcast.
Sign 'weather', then 'cloudy', point to yourself, and sign 'dislike'. Ensure your hands stay loose and relaxed during the cloud motion so it flows naturally into the next sign.

Yes, they use the exact same base sign. However, for 'cloudy', you might repeat the swirling motion a bit more or sweep it further across your signing space to emphasize that the entire sky is overcast, rather than pointing out a single cloud.
Generally, you can move them from your dominant side to your non-dominant side, or simply swirl them in the center. The most important element is the overlapping, rolling motion of the hands rather than a strict left-to-right directional rule.
Your hands should be placed slightly above your head level or in the uppermost part of your signing space. This naturally places the 'clouds' in the 'sky' relative to your body, making the sign's meaning clear.
